US Bill Aims to Lock 1 Million BTC in 20-Year Strategic Reserve, P2P Impact Unclear

Uncle Sam is eyeing a massive Bitcoin hoard, proposing a 20-year lock-up for up to a million coins. This move could reshape government crypto holdings, but the direct impact on your P2P spreads remains to be seen.

A new bill, the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA), is making waves in Washington. It's designed to make a federal Bitcoin reserve a permanent fixture, not just a presidential whim. Think of it as putting Uncle Sam's BTC on ice for two decades, with rules for how they can even buy more.
